Tabernacle - PIvot assembly - Bolt and nuts are gooped in the groove at last
With the Bottom half  of the pivot assembly (stbd side) secured in place by the spacers and the masking, and the release agent dry on the threads, it is time to goop things up.  The bond surface gets thoroughly wet with straight epoxy and then a *403* blend gets put in the *groove* before the nuts and bolt get dropped in and secured in the jig.  I then ran some straight epoxy between the two nuts since there is about a 1/32 inch gap there.
